Capture of "Lieutenant-Commander X" Kxpected) to Lead to Appre hension of Other Members of Alleged Combine. NEW YORK, May 1. Federal au thorttles arrested her today a German naval Lieutenant-Commander, who la said to be tha head of enemy props ganda In America, having been dele gated to this work by Count von Bern storff when the former German Am bassador left this country. Pending other expected arrests, the prisoner's name waa wtihheld. Th arrest of th German naval of ficer, who has thus far figured In the records of the Federal authorities as "Lieutenant-Commander X," follows the apprehension on Saturday of Marine D'Vlctorlca, alleged to have been on of his most valuable lieutenants. Tha woman, who Is detained at Bel- levn Hospital, where she was taken after her arrest, suffering from th ef fects of a narcotic, confessed that ah had received about 40,000 from the German naval officer since her arrival her in January, 1917, Federal authori ties assert. - She denied the charge that she used th money in furthering the dlssemln atlon of Pro-German propaganda here and said she spent it for living expenses at hotels. She claimed that she owns a large estate In Chile and that the money she received represented interest on "her properties, which had been managed by the German. . "Lieutenant-Commander X" Is said to have come to the United States In De cember, 191C. four months before the United States entered the war and stopped at a hotel, where he associated with Count von Bernstorff and other leading Germans. He is said to have been the paymas ter of German agents after the depart ure of Von Bernstorff and to have di rected to a large extent German propa ganda in this country. He is also re ported to have directed German activi ties in Brazil and other South Ameri can countries. One of the special forms of work In which be was engaged here. It was said. was trying to induce disaffected young Irishmen to join the English navy with We Promise You Healthy Feet WILL your feet let you "do your bit?"

A Business Should be as Big as Its Job If bigness is of benefit to the public it should be commended.. The size of a business depends upon the needs which that business is called upon to serve. A business should be as big; as its job. You do not drive tacks with a pile-driver or piles with a tack-hammer. Swift & Company's growth has been the natural and inevitable result of national and international needs. Large-scale production and distribution are necessary to convert the live stock of the West into meat and by-products, and to distribute them over long distances to the consuming centers of the East and abroad. Only an organization like that of Swift & Company, with its many packing plants, hundreds of distributing houses, and thou sands of refrigerator cars, would have been able to handle the varying seasonal supplies of live stock, and meet the present war emergency by supplying, without interruption: First The U. S. soldiers and the Allies in Europe by shipping as much as 800 carload of meat products in a single week ! Second The cantonments in the United States. Third The retailers upon whom the American public depends for its daily supply of meat. But many people ask Do producers and consumers pay too much for the complex service rendered ? Everyone, we believe, concedes the efficiency of the Swift & Company organization in performing a big job in a big way at ta minimum of expense. Swift & Company's total profit in 1917 was less than 4 cents on each dollar of sales of meat and by-products. Elim ination of this profit would have had practically no effect on live stock and meat prices. Do you believe that this service can be rendered for less by any other conceivable method of organization or operation? These questions and others are answered fully and frankly in the Swift & Company 1918 Year Book sent free on request. Address Swift & Company, U. S. Yards, Chicago Swift & Company, U. S. A.
